I'm trying to learn Sign Langauge!!
I'm interested in learning sign langauge. Someone taught me the song "The World's Greatest" in ASL, except the last two lines. I'm looking for a translation into ASL for the lines
"I saw the light
At the end of a tunnel
Believe in the pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow
To pull me through, yeah
Used to be locked doors
Now I can just walk on through"
Thanks!
Emily

Re:I'm trying to learn Sign Langauge!!
There are a lot of ways to translate songs into ASL. I like to translate lines in a way that interprets their meanings rather than exactly what they say. Both approaches work well and here is my translation :)
The capitalized words are the english words that correspond to certain signs.

"I saw the light
ME UNDERSTAND
At the end of a tunnel
FIND HOPE
Believe in the pot of gold
BELIEVE SUCEED
At the end of the rainbow
IMPOSSIBLE (shake your head 'no', showing that it's not impossible)
To pull me through, yeah
FUTURE WIN
Used to be locked doors
PAST STUCK
Now I can just walk on through"
NOW CAN PROCEED

I don't know if you're familiar to these signs. You can always look them up in a dictionary or website. Good luck!
